While suffering from caffiene deprivation I spent some tiine thinking, and I concluded a few things:
1) I'm going to be building a new PC. (soon, hopefully)
2) In order to get the best performing parts, I've got to keep incidental costs down. (e.g. case)
3) I want it to look cool (Corollary , it needs to be black.)
4) It needs to have a theme that fits with computing.
5) Needs to be understated.
I know. I'll make it look like HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I'm going to do some work on sketching my plans. (Pencil + paper. I'm old-school.)
I'm planning to use scrap cases from wherever I can hunt them from. And I'm working on a prototype for the hidden CD drive right now.
